i don´t know why we have to die
i don´t know a thing about this life
i know the punishment don´t always fit the crime

but
i will get by
i will get by

i know this drinkin´s gonna take me down
i feel the sin inside my body now
oh mercy mercy forgive my lack of will

oh i....
i´m just trying to get by
i´m just trying to get by

don´t want to go to hell
can´t hardly stand myself
i´m like a weed at the side of the road
nothing but filthy air
gotta get out of here
i´m like a weed and you know how hard they can be to kill
but you can´t kill me
no no no you can´t kill me

i don´t know why a broken heart
can hurt you more than having your hand cut off
i´ve come to save you but you´re already gone

oh i, i will get by
i will get by
hey hey hey
i will get by
i will get by
hey hey hey
i will get by
i will get by
i will get by
i will get by

get by get by
get by get by
get by get by
get by

i will get by
